GM Questions

[Meiyokashi]

Can't roll twice in a row seems a good way to create the hand-off nature I want from the event. I want that, "I do this part which let's so and so..." And then just keep passing the baton along the way toward victory.

I'd also just generally suggest event etiquette. Focus more on having a good time and writing out a cool scene than simply "getting it done"

how do obligations work in this PBP setting? I looked on the forum and didn't see it explained. I assume its different than the rulebook as there are so many players. say for instance I go talk to a seedy part of the city, and I have an illegal bounty... would I be more likely to have that come up? This wont effect my decision making for posts, just curious OOC. Thanks.

At the start of each session the GMs roll secretly to see who the Obligation will trigger for, and usually find some way of including that into the story for that character.

GMs might take some ideas from Obligations and run with it without it triggering, and some are part of the character's background too (like Jedi having an Obligation on being wanted for being, you know, Jedi. They can never really escape that fact when dealing with certain elements, no matter if Obligation triggers or not).

[Meiyokashi]

All of the above, much appreciated

I like to try and incorporate as much as I can, and when a trigger does happen I've adopted a practice here of it being more like a caged beast. If an obligation triggers the process starts and it's heading toward you but it might not hit right away.

awesome thanks!

1) Does the setback/upgrade from being in the clinic as a force user apply during the heist event?

2) Aanli is more academia side of things than medical, but what that means hasn't really been established. Could there, like, a university or something? We might have a dead rathtar to study (assuming it isn't some sort of Force construct that will poof outside of the swamp), and I don't think Aanli's living room would be a good place to do it.

(Of course bringing an incredibly rare and scientifically fascinating research specimen to a thoroughly legitimate university all of a sudden will have Consequences.)

[Meiyokashi]

No, generally location modifiers do not apply within Official Events.

And yea, sure, there's probably a university somewhere, nothing too fancy though. Do consider- I'm not sure on the specifics of the situation but I don't think you guys are prepared at all for carrying a Rathtar body out of the swamp.

[The SCaT Droid]

Is there some sort of roll to navigate the swamp around the wreck?

[Dr. Aanli Ven]

The Respected Scholar talent downgrades the difficulty for interacting with institutes of learning by 1 per rank.

Would that include social skills I use in the Showtime event to interact with the clinic?

[Zimrzala Skalirz]

Oh, right, another question on the showtime event just occurred to me. I'm guessing each character can only roll each skill once during the event? I assumed so, but just noticed I found no particulars on this (or at least none that I could see), so I thought it would make sense to check

Thanks!

Potentially, depends on the scene/what's being attempted. If you mean to just go there- not at base no. Anything of import would be in the description.

Short answer, no.

It's not an institute of learning in the regard that Respected Scholar covers, and as well- by nature of the talent being calling on previous association/respect as a scholar you'd have to be known to the person you're using it on.

So probably not the thing to use if you're in the middle of committing a crime!

Yea, may only roll each skill used once. Event was written with that intent, my apologies for not clearly stating it!

[Zimrzala Skalirz]

No worries! I figured as much, just wondered

[The SCaT Droid]

So for the Showtime event, do you have to roll the averages first, then hard, followed by daunting?

[Meiyokashi]

Yes!

Basically: Jyrvess find an approximate location of where they are within the Middle City (general location). However, through the mechanics of knowing how things should work she's also pretty certain that someone on the other side allowed them to find it: so it's probably a trap.

Since we have an approximate location, is it possible to draw up some plans of possible approaches? Using Knowledge: Warfare perhaps? ^^

[The SCaT Droid]

No slicer tools, but I do have a tool kit on me. Can I look through the Nemarian systems, and if so, what difficulty?

Yea! Knowledge: Warfare, Simple Difficulty.

You'd need slicer tools to get into the system. I'll also note, Nara currently makes home there so you'd have to get her permission to enter.
